This course, coupled with the English component of American Experience, examines American history from the 1877 through the present. Students examine cultural interactions, policy issues; economic development and social change in American history, and make correlations between the historical study and their study of English literature. The course is taught by members of the English and Social Studies Departments who work together to plan collaborative lessons in American history and literature. Credit earned applies to the grade 11 requirements in both subjects. Students who sign up for AMEX English must also register for AMEX History.
